Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2025

1. Who we are

YourWorkRights is an independent UK-based platform providing free employment rights guidance and information. We operate the website at yourworkrights.uk.

For the purposes of UK data protection law, we are the data controller for personal data collected through this website. You can contact us at info@yourworkrights.uk.

2. What data we collect

Contact form

When you submit a message through our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. This data is used solely to respond to your enquiry.

Cookies and analytics

We may use basic analytics to understand how the site is used — for example, which pages are visited and how visitors find us. This does not involve tracking individuals and does not collect personally identifiable information.

Data you enter into our tools

Our self-assessment tools (such as the discrimination checker, hosted on Tally) are operated by third parties. Data you enter into those tools is subject to the third party's own privacy policy. We do not receive or store the answers you provide in those tools unless you choose to submit them to us.

Documents you download

We do not collect any personal data when you download our document templates. Downloads are direct file transfers and no information is logged.

3. How we use your data

We use personal data collected through the contact form only to:

• Respond to your message or enquiry
• Follow up where you have asked us to

We do not use your data for marketing, profiling, or any automated decision-making.

4. Our lawful basis for processing

We process contact form data on the basis of legitimate interests — specifically, to respond to messages sent to us by people seeking information or support. We have assessed that this processing does not override your rights and freedoms.

5. How long we keep your data

Contact form submissions are retained for as long as necessary to respond to your message and handle any follow-up, and no longer than 12 months after our last correspondence unless there is a legal reason to retain it longer.

6. Who we share your data with

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for commercial purposes.

Contact form data is processed by Netlify, our hosting provider, as part of their Forms service. Netlify is based in the United States and processes data in accordance with standard contractual clauses. You can read Netlify's privacy policy at netlify.com/privacy.

7. Your rights under UK GDPR

You have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

• Right of access — you can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Right to rectification — you can ask us to correct inaccurate data
• Right to erasure — you can ask us to delete your data in certain circumstances
• Right to restrict processing — you can ask us to pause processing of your data
• Right to object — you can object to our processing based on legitimate interests

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@yourworkrights.uk. We will respond within one month.

8. Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we handle your personal data, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk or by calling 0303 123 1113.

9. Third party links

This website contains links to external websites including ACAS, the Law Society, Citizens Advice, and others. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to read their privacy policies.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last updated. Continued use of the site constitutes acceptance of any changes.
